Nautilus Southern Valleys 2017 Pinot Noir is a blend of wines from two blocks of Pinot Noir sourced from two different hillside vineyards in the Southern Valleys. A portion of the grapes were whole-bunch fermented giving fresh fruit-driven flavours to this dry and zesty PN from the Marlborough with dark cherry, earthy violets, subtle baking spice and dried herb flavours silky on the palate. Tannins are fine-grained and rounded. Drink or hold.

Pinot Noir food pairings: lamb lollipops, lamb tagine, veal cutlets, breast of veal stuffed with wild mushrooms.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
